THE OLD GAME.
Contracts for Fruit Trees Turn Up as
Promissory Notes.

A dispatch from Youngstown says;
"Several farmers residing in Board
man have been caught by fruit tree
agents, and are now figuring how they
can avoid the settlements of certain
notes presented for payment. Along
in the summer agents came through
this county selling fruit trees, and rep
resented that they had curculio proof
plum trees that were very prolific, the
fruit being large and sweet, and in
great demand wherever 1t had been
introduced. The agents stated they
were introducing this special article Of
fruit trees, and would not only give
time for payment but would purchase
the fruit at price that would pay for
them. The bait took and farmers
signed what they assert were contracts
for the trees. A day or two ago they
were taken by surprise when the con-
tracts turned up IN the shape of prom
issory notes, with a notice that if not
paid suit would be brought. The trees
were received and accepted by the
farmers before the notes were presented.
The farme . have retained counsel and
propose testing the legality of the notes
in court.

The Kaiser and the Crown Prince
Failing, While Prince william
'" is Suffering From an In
.v.a curable Disease.


New YORK, Nov. 2l.-A gentleman
who subscribes himself "a Godson of
the Crown Prince,n has long and in
teresting letter in yesterdays Tribune
on the situation in Germany. He
makes some statements in regard to
the Crown Prince and his son, the heir
apparent, which are rather startling.
The writer says that the empire of
Germany is on the eve of an immense
catastrophe, and declares that he
knows whereof he speaks. as he has
been since boyhood n close friend of
the Crown Prince. After speaking of
the Crown Prince, he says the public
is unaware of the very precarious state
of health of Prince William of Prussia.
His condition has been thrown COM
pletely in the background for the mo-
ment by the sudden and overwhelming
realization of his fathers fatal malady
and his grandfather's ever increasing
weakness and disability.
The writer then goes on 10 say that
the conjectures of the succession of
Prince William will never be realized.
The young man is suffering in severe
degree from the same peculiar disease
which carried off the late King of
Prussia, after rendering him complete
ly insane during the last few years of
his reign.
The only known remedy consists of
never ending succession of abscessts
in that part of the ear situated betwe
the tympanum and the base of the
brain. The technical name therefore
is otitis medina, and the danger is ever
present of meningitis and inflamma-
lion of the brain setting in. Every
kind of remedy has been tried in vain,
and the disease is making rapid pro-
gress. In addition to this, his left arm
has been withered since his birth.
In the event of his insanity or death,
and Of the demise of the old Kaiser,
and of the Crown Prince the success
sion devolves upon Prince Williams
little 4-year old son. A bitter struggle
would then ensue for the regency in
which the Berlin Junker and court
party Is determined that the Crown
| Princess shall have no share. There is
not member OF the imperial family
who would be fit to undertake the re-
gency if the Crown Princess was left
out of consideration. The question of
the regency is further Complicated by
the inevitable disappearance from the
political arena before many years have
elapsed of Prince Bismarck, whose fail
ing health will scarcely admit of his
long surviving his present master. He
leaves no one to take his place.

Every community is cursed by the pres
ence of class of people who make it their
business to attend to everybody's business
but their own. Such people are the meanest
specimens of depraved humanity which
an all-wise Providence permits to exist on
this earth. 1t is well known that almost
every person is some times disposed to
speak evil of each other and tattling a sin
from which very few can claim to be entirely
exempt. But the object of our present a rti-
Gle is to speak of that distinct class of tat
tiers who make tale bearing the constant
business of their lives. They pry into the
private affairs of every family in the neigh
borhood; they know the exact state of one
neighbours feelings toward another, they un-
derstand everybody's faults, and no little
blunder or misdemeanor ever escapes their
vigilant watchfulness. They are particu-
larly well posted upon everything conn ected
with courtship and matrimony, know who
are going to marry, and whom, and can
guess the exact time when it will take place.
They watch every movement Of parties sus-
pected Of matrimonial intentions, and if
there is the slightest chance to create a dis
turbance, excite jealousy or .break upnsa
match they take immediate advantage Of it.
and to do all in their power to keep people
in constant state Of vexation. They glide
quickly from gentleman to lady, from moth-l
er to daughter, from father to son; and in
the ears Of all they pour their dark, bitter
whispers Of SANDER and abuse, and at the
same time pretend to be the most sincere
friends of those they talk to. Their black
and nauseous pills of malicious slander are
sugarcoated with smiles and honeyed words
oflfriendship. Tattlers are confined to no
particular class Of society. They belong to
all classes and operate in all. We find them
among the rich and poor-ssupper ten"
sslower Million lin the church and out Of it.
They are people who have no higher ambi-
tion than to be we'll informed in regard to
other peoples private business, to retail
scandle to their neighbor, and to exult in
fendish triumph over the wounded feelings
Of their innocent victims. M

That leaves IL votes short of the 2Ol
which constitutes majority of the
Electoral College. Where are the
Democrats to get them from? They
expect 15 from Indiana, which would
be three more than enough. They ex-
pect, also, the nine votes of New
Jersey and the six votes of Connecticut
two States which, on Presidential
elections, usually follow New York
which would add Is more.
This would give them 2l9. Then
they have also reasonable hopes ot
California's 8 and Nevada's 8, which
would swell the total to 230. It is not
at all improbable that Minnesota may
walk in with her Z; and, II Ohio should
come, too, with her %. then the Demo-
cratic aggregate would reach 260. II
looks rather badly for the Republicans
in 1888. - Enquirer.

Rich Find Around springfleld.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Nov. 1S.-Exten-
sive beds of valuable iron ore have been
discovered at distance of about IL
miles from Springfield. Specimens Of
the ore have been submitted to Prof.
Orton, State geologist, who estimates.
that the specimens contain more pure
iron than any yet discovered in Ohio.
An experienced iron man estimates
that the ore will average SO per cent. to.
the ton, which is o very large showing.
The ore ~ at depth Of from one to.
eighteen feet below the surface. The
ore was found on the farm of Howell
Waddle and also on several adjacent
farms.

A clerical lookine eentleman in Il

A clerical looking gentleman in the
hope of obtaining contribution en-
tered the Office of Texas newspaper,
and finding the editor at the desk, said:
II am soliciting aid for high-toned
gentleman of refinement and intelli-
gence who is in need Of a little money,
but is too proud to make known his
sufferings.r "Whyp' exclaimed the
editor, "pm the only man in town that
answers that description. What's the

Vote.

There will be 40l votes in the next
Electoral College. OF these, 20l is a
majority, and will elect President OF

following States, to each of which
their respective numerical strength in
the Electoral College is appended:

The suggestion hazarded in these columns sew.

upon Mayor Hewitt's sympathies to such an ex.
tent by describing himself as q victim OF trade
union persecution in New York, would turn out to
be fraud, ts justified by events The mayor be.
came 80 much Interested, IN spite OF the evidence
produced by the trade unions that they had re.
fused Lang's application for membership only ON
account OF his crooked record, that a place was
found for the supposed victim as 1anitor OF an
apsrtmen'-house. Now the police have arrested
him for roooing the tenants OF the establishment.
They know the man as an old offender, and. since
his latest exploit Is both a crime In itself ard an
abuse Of charitable confidence, 1t Is likely to go

1t Is said that all the Jurors in the Sharp case
Will sign recommendation that the eminent
boodler be let on with fine OF $1,000. Legally,
We suppose, they have the right to afx their sig.
natures TO as many papers OF the kind as they
want TO, the same as any other person has bu.
their recommendation to mercy should have NO
more weight with the court than that of any other
twelve men, Their business was to pass upon the
guilt or innocence Of the accused With the Ques-
ton OF punishment they have nothing to do. II
Sharp had been found innocent he would have
been discharged; being found guilty, the law and
the judge who executes 1T should be left to TX the
penalty. The members OF jury should withdraw
from the case when they leave the Jury-box, II
they want the public TO have any confidence In
their verdict
